The Happy Thought Thread

Sunshine blazing down, warm, two loads of laundry out on the line. Three clients all wanting quotes for work that they're wanting me to do. A splendid day. Probably round it off with a pint at the local.

I was more surprised when Sony announced they were going to do lollipop for it.

So pleased for our Steven he has just bought himself his first car it's a 64 plate pre registered Vauxhall Corsa 1.0 ecoFLEX S 3d, 5 miles on the clock. Cheap road tax £30.00 per year, cheap insurance and it will do him just fine for getting from A to B. Sensible lad to take into account the running costs IMO glad he took on board the advice his Dad gave him.

That's a very nice first car. The small petrol engine will probably be less troublesome than a diesel, especially if he's doing short journeys.

He will only use it for Uni and his part time job at our local Sainsburys. To keep the insurance low he limited the miles to 10,000 per year.
It is his first car and it isn't as we bought him a wee 51 plate Corsa 4 years ago, but this one is well and truly his as he saved half the cost of the car for a deposit and has insured it all by himself and more importantly the car is in his name. I'm so chuffed for him I really am.

Glorious sunny day, no wind so even though it's cool (10C) we were able to sit outside in the locals beer garden with a cool pint each. Really quite warm in the sun.

Nice. Hope he enjoys it.

Been giving Osem Jnr. lessons in his Kia Rio and he's doing really well. Cars certainly have moved on in the last 10 years...
